Exploring the Card

Arthur Weasley may not be the richest or most influential man in the wizarding community, but he fulfills the criteria for the King of Wands perfectly. He knows that wizards and muggles must coexist peacefully and that they need each other, and he is prepared to lay down his life to make it happen. He always does the honorable and the right thing. He does not allow any insult to the honor of his family – and he is passionate enough to even take on Lucius Malfoy at Flourish & Blotts over it. And even though the Weasleys sometimes find it hard to make ends meet, he still generously shares what he has with Harry and Hermione, virtually adopting them into his family.

Scene

Here he sits at his post at the Ministry of Magic taking care that no magical mishap befalls the muggles entrusted to his care.

Visual Description

A seated older man in a tailored coat and soft cap sits in a wooden chair in a study, holding a long wand or staff across his lap. Shelves of books and a desk with stacked volumes are visible behind him, and decorative swirling script overlays the edges of the image. The drawing is rendered in a tonal, graphite-like style with strong contrasts and fine detail. At the bottom of the card the title "King of Wands" is printed.
